Would seem to be 7, possibly 8 children born to the marriage post 1911 census - all can be found on https://www.freebmd.org.uk as can the marriage of the parents. The site is free to use you should put it in your favourites.

Also - https://www.gro.gov.uk. A new initiative which shows Mother's maiden names from 1837-1911 which is not available on freebmd or commercial sites (that's where Henry's birth/death came from)

Maybe Margaret's 1911, looking at the area where Henry was born and died. So Mum would have been carrying her when the census was conducted. Am not seeing another Blakeley/Cox marriage.

So probably them in 1911 - married 1 year. 1 child born who has died at this point

For some idea of time frame and areas - is this the right marriage for Henry and Sophia (only one coming up with those names)
